Confrontation
~Legolas~
Since my father had arrived I couldn't stop pacing around the room even though I knew it drove Glorfindel mad.
It was the first time in my life that I had been so nervous.
My beloved sighed heavily. "Legolas, would you please sit down?"
"I'm sorry." I said and sat down on his lap. "But I'm so afraid."
He gently kissed me and caressed my hair. "I know, love. But everything will be fine. You'll see."
I couldn't help but smile. He was always able to reassure me.
Now I returned the kiss and could forget everything for a moment.
I had never known such a feeling before. Glorfindel was so important to me like no one else, except for my family
of course.
But now I had to fear that I could lose them forever.
Maybe my brothers would understand but my father ...
Glorfindel was everything I was sure about.
"Please don't leave me, my heart. I couldn't bear to lose you."
"Never, Legolas. You should know that."
He wanted to kiss me again but suddenly we heared a knock on the door.
I jumped slightly and stood up.
"Come in." Glorfindel called.
I was not surprised when my father entered the room.
He was alone.
No Elrond.
No Sirius.
No Solem.
I had hoped that at least one of them would be with him to help me. At this moment I was so glad that Glorfindel
didn't leave the room.
"Hello Legolas." He sounded a bit annoyed but it was not as bad as I had feared.
"Hello adar." I had no idea what to say and the anger in his eyes was unbearable to me.
The silence was terrible but maybe my father needed it to calm down.
"What did you think you were doing?" He asked after a few minutes.
I didn't realize that he hadn't been talking to me and wanted to answer. "I ..."
"I didn't ask you, Legolas." He looked at Glorfindel sharply.
"I can imagine what you are thinking, King Thranduil. But please let me explain ..."
He raised an eyebrow. "I listen."
"Maybe you can't believe me but I truly love your son and I think he loves me."
"He's so much younger." My father interrupted. "Don't you see him as a child? Or is it his innocence that you
want?"
"Of course not! Yes, your son is still young but I don't see him as a child. And it's NOT his innocence I want. I
would never touch him against his will!"
"And why do you share a room then? It's pretty soon for that."
"Yes, we are in a bed together, but that doesn't mean that there was more. We didn't ..." The blond Elven lord
stopped a little emberassed.
My father raised an eyebrow. "I know what you mean. And what about the others?"
"What do you mean?" I was as confused as Glorfindel.
"It's sometimes hard when two men have a relationship, and it's even harder when one of them is so much older
than the other. Soon everyone will talk about you two."
"I don't care what they are saying."
"Just like me." I said.
My father sighed and shook his head. "And what about Sarira and Lirius? Your children will surely not be happy
that your lover is so much younger than them."
"My children will understand."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes. Please believe me that it also hurts me to know that Legolas will have a hard time. But I love him and I only
want his best. We will get through this together."
My father looked at us and sighed again as Glorfindel embraced me protectivly. "What can I say about that? I
have only one question to you, Legolas."
"What is it?"
"Does he make you happy?"
I smiled broadly. "Yes."
"Then it's alright. But don't you dare to hurt my son!"
"Never. I could never hurt him."
I was so happy that I wouldn't lose the love of my family.
"Will you stay for a while?" I asked.
My father smiled at us both. "Sure. I have to look after you two a bit. And I want to see how much you have learned.
Glorfindel smiled an kissed me on the cheek. "I'm sure you will be proud of you son, King Thranduil."
"Please call me Thranduil. Now come. Your former students are waiting."
